Exceptional picture frames, guided tour with the curator

Friends of the Museum can visit the gallery displaying the important frames from eleven works of art in the collection in a private guided tour led by Mar Borobia, curator of the exhibition and Chief Curator of Old Master Paintings at the museum. 

This display brings together paintings from the 14^th to the 17^th centuries by artists such as Van Eyck, Titian and El Greco. Their frames, three of them the original ones, exemplify the artistic importance of this part of the work. 

The curator’s explanations will allow participants to go beyond the merely ornamental aspect in order to see how frames are an essential element in the presentation of a painting, guiding the viewer's gaze and separating the physical space in which the painting is located from the scene represented by the artist.
